Aït Zayane Crimson Lattice — Nested Diamond Medallions with Guard Borders

Aït Zayane Crimson Lattice — Nested Diamond Medallions with Guard Borders

Aït Zayane Crimson Lattice — Nested Diamond Medallions with Guard Borders (250 × 140 cm)

A richly worked Aït Zayane pile rug from the Middle Atlas. A field of interlocked lozenges and stepped medallions rises in crimson and saffron, animated by ivory highlights and charcoal outlines. Robust guard borders carry a procession of talismanic motifs, framing the composition with ceremonious rhythm—an archetypal Zayane geometry.
